CraigP Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Bassist Max Johnson has a new one coming out in February, with Kirk Knuffke on cornet and Ziv Ravitz on drums. Here's an excerpt from my review: "I like how the Trio lets the music unfold organically, somewhat like Other Dimensions in Music used to do, although the structure is compositionally-based, all from the pen of Johnson. There’s an appealing openness and looseness to the sound, and when things get uptempo I’m reminded of Ornette’s classic quartet (without the alto, of course) in the way the bass and drums propel things forward." You can read the full review on my blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhoots Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I've been liking almost everything that Knuffke is on.I'll probably try this, although I don't know the other two players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigP Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 You can listen to the first track at Max's Bandcamp site, although it's briefer than the other cuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very good on trumpet. He is fabulous on cornet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 In my limited experience with Max Johnson I've found him to be a very engaging bassist. Very muscular & out front. I'll check this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
